Yes, This Will Be On The Exam: Children's TV Show Character Names

With the news that J. Lo and M. An [doesn't work?] have named their twins Max and Emme, I think it behooves those who already have kids to list up the names of current children's TV show characters, just so parents-to-be don't get blindsided by an association they may not have been familiar with. Feel free to add to the list in the comments.

And what about Yo Gabba Gabba? You know that parents in search of a "unique" name will go after Brobee, Plex, Foofa, Muno and Toodee. Not to mention Lance Rock.

Toodee (tootie?) has the double whammie of being from The Facts of Life, correct? just checkin'

[close enough. I think the criteria for the list should be TV character names that you wouldn't know unless you have kids. Which leaves off a whole swath of Muppet names that people grew up with. Tootie is perfect, though, because someone might know it from Facts of Life and *still* want to name their kid that, but the YGG connection would be a surprise. -ed.]

Alicia is really more of a Diego character than Dora. And we're pretty annoyed that they don't make an action figure of her, by the way. Although I suppose it might be creepy to have a cool tween older sister toy.
